Each year with NFL around the corner, the Super Bowl provides an advertising platform for companies jockeying to get their products in front of millions. The major purpose of the enterprises to feature their products in the Super Bowl is because of NFL’s extremely high viewership and demographic reach. From celebrity cameos to adding off-the-charts cinematography, the Super Bowl ads cover everything to grab spectators’ attention. Interestingly, the iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] has also contributed his acting flair to those Super Bowl endorsements and received applause from millions. From BMW to Bud Light, the Austrian Oak has graced his presence in Super Bowl advertisements and made those endorsements even more exuberant. However, with higher reach comes higher expenses. Likewise, the Austrian’s Bud Light advertisement made a case for a million-dollar investment from the beer company. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER’S MILLION-DOLLAR SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL In 2014, the Terminator appeared in a cameo role in the Bud Light advertisement. According to the Spanish daily Diario AS, [https://en.as.com/entertainment/the-most-expensive-commercials-in-super-bowl-history-n/] the commercial cost approximately $12 million. Interestingly, the endorsement video shows the jubilance that comes after accepting a Bud Light beer. It revolves around an average man, who after accepting the beer, concedes that he is “up for whatever happens next”. Moreover, the Austrian Oak can be seen flaunting a wig and a headband while playing ping-pong. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/abc_sb_budlight_arnold_140202_wg.jpg] Actress Minka Kelly was also seen sharing the screen with the bodybuilder in the 2014 Super Bowl commercial. Now, high viewership plus a top-notch background setting makes this advertisement notoriously expensive. Nonetheless, this is not the first time when the bodybuilder acted in NFL commercials. Color-Changing Model [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-legend-arnold-schwarzenegger-launches-billionaire-companys-color-changing-model/] BMW IX SUPER BOWL ADVERTISEMENT In 2022, the Austrian Oak appeared as the Greek god ‘Zeus’ for endorsing the German automobile company’s electric cars [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-hes-back-german-mega-automobile-company-teased-arnold-schwarzenegger-for-another-collaboration/]. In the 60-second commercial, Schwarzenegger shared the screen with actress Salma Hayek, who played the role of Goddess Hera. Interestingly, the ad marks the first time since 2015 that BMW advertised in the Super Bowl. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Arnie-Zeus-2022-652x353-1.jpg] Clearly, Schwarzenegger has a knack for pulling off any character he gets cast as. While these commercials demand hefty investments, they are worth having a look into.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger: </strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business.

Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport.
